Definitions
- the invention relates to a fluid dispenser for the foodstuff supply sector.
- the invention relates particularly to a fluid dispenser for the foodstuff supply sector having a dimensionally rigid housing for receiving a tubular bag with viscous contents, wherein the fluid dispenser is also designed to receive tubular bags which have a dispensing device that is fitted or can be fitted on the tubular bag itself and that permits metered dispensing of the contents.
- the tubular bag can be inserted and secured in a predetermined position in the fluid dispenser, and an auxiliary device is present with which the viscous contents located in the tubular bag can be continuously pushed in the direction of the dispensing device on the tubular bag, by mechanical application of pressure to the tubular bag in the position of use of the fluid dispenser.
- tubular bags In the foodstuff supply sector, very large amounts of viscous products must today be delivered in so-called tubular bags for the purpose of maintaining hygienic conditions.
- These tubular bags are flexible containers on which a dispensing device, for example in the form of a metering pump, is integrated or at least attachable and which in the aggregate are provided for the onetime use.
- a contamination of the mostly perishable viscous products e.g. sauces etc.
- Air is also to be prevented to the greatest possible extent from penetrating into the tubular bags during the emptying process, because penetrating air can promote the contamination and the oxygen in the air can also impair the quality of the products.
- tubular bags are, of course, to be emptied as completely as possible.
- there is even often a problem with solutions using disposable metering pumps because the uncontrolled crumpling of the tubular bags during the emptying process and the accompanying wrinkle formation in the tubular bags very often have the effect that a considerable portion of the tubular bag contents remains hanging in the creases and thus cannot be emptied.
- Estimates by a large distributor in the worldwide foodstuff supply sector assume that just an emptying capability of 96% instead of 88% could result in a yearly savings of the tubular bag contents in the amount of approximately 1 million $.
- the American U.S. Pat. No. 5,638,989A describes a dispenser for dispensing fluids from tubular bags.
- the tubular bags are held or respectively clamped in this case in a three point suspension, namely between two upper suspension hooks and a lower receiving opening for securing a dispensing device, wherein the dispensing device is in turn itself fitted to the tubular bag.
- the emptying process takes place under the influence of gravity; however, a pivotable clamp is also provided, which pushes against a side wall of the tubular bag in the central bag region and apparently at least in part improves the emptying capability of the tubular bag.
- the American U.S. Pat. No. 5,490,613 describes a fluid dispenser for the foodstuff supply sector having a dimensionally rigid housing for receiving a tubular bag with viscous contents, wherein the fluid dispenser is additionally designed to receive tubular bags, which have a dispensing device, which is fitted itself to the tubular bag and can be operated manually, for the metered dispensing of the contents, and wherein the tubular bag can furthermore be inserted and secured in a predetermined position in the fluid dispenser and wherein an auxiliary device is provided, with which the viscous contents located in the tubular bag can be continuously pushed in the direction of the dispensing device on the tubular bag, by mechanical application of pressure to the tubular bag in the position of use of the fluid dispenser.
- the tubular bag is secured in the housing by means of a clamping using clamping means in the form of a three point clamping.
- the auxiliary device consists of at least one weighting roller which is mounted between two lateral guides in the housing and which, in the position of use of the fluid dispenser, bears on the tubular bag and, by means of its inherent weight, is able to push the viscous contents of the tubular bag continuously to the dispensing device on the tubular bag.
- this disclosure relates to a gravity discharge solution supported by weighting rollers. Because the two weighting rollers are only guided in guide slots, a lateral tilting of the weighting rollers is however possible.
- the aim of the present invention to specify an improved solution for an emptying of tubular bags having a fluid dispenser, which is particularly suitable to the foodstuff supply sector, said emptying being as complete as possible.
- the intended solution is to be suitable for situations in which the tubular bags to be emptied tend to develop creases.
- the solution includes that, in the case of a generic fluid dispenser having an auxiliary device with a passively operating weighting roller for supporting an emptying capability of the tubular bag that is as complete as possible, the auxiliary device is provided with position stabilizing means with which the horizontal bearing of the weighting roller on the tubular bag, in the position of use of the fluid dispenser, is stabilized.
- position stabilizing means have the effect that a tilting of the weighting roller can be largely prevented despite a possible one-sided crease formation. This measure can thus be virtually seen as a requirement for a ‘complete roll out’ of the tubular bag despite possible crease formation.
- the intended ‘complete roll-out capability’ of the tubular bag despite present creases also, of course, depends on whether the weighting roller can even overcome places with creases when moving downwards. To this end, the weighting roller needs a certain amount of resilience, which cannot however be too much because the roll-out capability then comes into question per se. It has been proven that a foam sheathing of the weighting roller with a certain sheathing foam layer thickness is particularly advantageous. Practice trials with standard tubular bags and metering pumps fitted thereon have shown that emptying rates of 96% to 98% can be achieved with this feature combination.
- FIG. 1 shows the opened housing of a fluid dispenser without inserted tubular bag and without weighting roller in a view from on top;
- FIG. 2 shows the housing from FIG. 1 with inserted tubular bag in a spatial view
- FIG. 3 shows the housing from FIG. 1 with inserted tubular bag and inserted weighting roller in a spatial view
- FIG. 4 shows the weighting roller in a spatial view
- FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional drawing of the closed housing from FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic partial section of the housing from FIG. 1 in order to explain the function
- FIG. 7 shows a further schematic partial section of the housing from FIG. 1 to explain the residue emptying
- FIG. 8 shows a tubular bag with a metering pump fitted thereto in a spatial view
- FIG. 9 shows a fluid dispenser with the housing of FIG. 1 placed thereon or respectively inserted therein.
- FIG. 1 shows the opened housing 1 of a fluid dispenser without inserted tubular bag 2 and without weighting roller 3 (latter see FIGS. 2 and 3 ) in a view from above.
- the housing 1 consists of (opened) upper housing part 1 a and a lower housing part 1 b , which are connected in an articulated manner to one another via hinges (not depicted) in a hinged region 4 and which can be closed in a snapped shut position with a closing device, for example with a slider (not depicted) that deflects.
- the terms lower housing part and upper housing part refer here only to the depicted handling position which is suitable for fitting with a tubular bag.
- At least the upper housing part 1 a is provided with a rib structure for stiffening.
- At least one of the two housing parts 1 a , 1 b in this case the lower housing part 1 b , has on both sides guides which lie inward in edge regions, are designed as toothed racks and extend substantially over the entire width of the housing.
- the guides 5 are subcomponents of position-stabilizing means for the weighting roller 3 . This will be explained in more detail below.
- Clamping means 6 a , 6 b which are designed as gripping means, are located in the lower housing part 1 b .
- the upper clamping means 6 a , 6 b and the lower clamping means 6 c are in their entirety denoted as clamping device and form the three point clamping for the tubular bag 2 that is mentioned above.
- the tubular bag 2 is held clamped in the housing 1 therefore by means of the three point clamping between the upper clamping means 6 a , 6 b and the lower clamping means 6 c .
- additional spring tensioners can, for example, be provided for the upper clamping means 6 a , 6 b . In so doing, the dimension changes of the tubular bag can be taken into account during the emptying process.
- the dispensing device 7 is or can be fitted on the tubular bag 2 itself at least prior to use because the objective shall be that the tubular bag 2 including the dispensing device 7 used shall be designed for single use for hygienic reasons.
- the dispensing device 7 can therefore, for example, be a disposable metering pump 10 or e.g. also a disposable, push-up type closure or a disposable rotary closure.
- the housing 1 as well as the lower clamping means 6 c are therefore designed such that they, depending on the type of the dispensing device used, can receive and fixedly position the same and in fact in such a way that at least parts of the dispensing device 7 , such as a fluid outlet of the same, protrude out of the housing 1 when the tubular bag 2 is inserted and said housing is closed (cf. FIG. 2 ).
- the metering pump 10 protrudes out of the housing 1 , which, of course, enables a metering pump drive to be used which can be separately coupled to the metering pump 10 .
- the upper clamping means 6 a , 6 b can be adjusted as to the distance to the other upper clamping means.
- the upper clamping means 6 b is disposed on a clamping means guide 8 so as to be displaceable and lockable in position.
- a tubular bag itself can always be inserted in an optimally tensioned manner independently of the filling state of the same.
- the upper clamping means 6 b is disposed offset with respect to the housing 1 and with respect to the other upper clamping means 6 a , in order to achieve an oblique position of the inserted tubular bag 2 in the range of 4-6 angular degrees.
- the slightly oblique position makes it possible for standardized, i.e. simple to manufacture and substantially rectangular, tubular bags, in the position of use of the fluid dispenser, to always be clamped such that a discharge inclination develops at least in the base side region of the tubular bag, i.e. there where the dispensing device is fitted.
- a discharge inclination develops at least in the base side region of the tubular bag, i.e. there where the dispensing device is fitted.
- a practically complete discharge of the tubular bag contents in the direction of the dispensing device 7 is ensured even in the end phase of the emptying process.
- the device is designed for standardized tubular bags, which always have a certain flexibility and which additionally also have the shown corner arrangement of the dispensing device 7 , such a slight oblique position is no problem even in the region of the dispensing device. This is further illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 7 .
- FIG. 2 shows the housing of FIG. 1 with inserted tubular bag 2 in a spatial view.
- the previously mentioned oblique position of the tubular bag 2 in the inserted state can be readily seen here.
- the dispensing device 7 of the tubular bag 2 or at least parts thereof protrude out of the lower housing part.
- FIG. 3 shows the housing 1 from FIG. 1 with inserted tubular bag 2 and inserted weighting roller 3 in a spatial view. This depiction also clarifies in which position the weighting roller 3 is to be used when equipping the fluid dispenser with a full tubular bag 2 .
- FIG. 4 shows the weighting roller 3 in a spatial view. It can be clearly seen here that the weighting roller 3 has gear wheels 9 on both sides on the end faces. Said gear wheels can, of course, be integrally formed as one piece on a cylindrical core 10 of the weighting roller 3 .
- the gear wheels 9 interact with the guides 5 in the housing 1 that are formed as toothed racks and in fact in such a way that the weighting roller 3 can be moved back and forth so as to be tooth rack guided on both sides in the closed housing 1 . Because the gear wheels 9 cannot jump out of the toothed rack guides, a lateral tilting of the weighting roller 3 is effectively prevented.
- the gear wheels 9 and the toothed racks are thus position-stabilizing means for an auxiliary device, wherein the weighting roller, which by means of its inherent weight is able to push the contents situated in the tubular bag continuously in the direction of the dispensing device, can be seen as precisely this auxiliary device.
- the weighting roller which by means of its inherent weight is able to push the contents situated in the tubular bag continuously in the direction of the dispensing device, can be seen as precisely this auxiliary device.
- FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional drawing of the closed housing 1 from FIG. 1 , wherein the cross-section is set in the region of the gear wheel 9 and the guide 5 with the toothed rack.
- the housing 1 is depicted here in the position of use of the fluid dispenser, i.e. in the position in which the dispensing device 7 is at the lowest point of the device. It is made clear here that the weighting roller 3 could thus readily roll downwards to the dispensing device 7 in the absence of a tubular bag 2 .
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic partial cross-section of the housing of FIG. 1 in order to explain the function.
- a tubular bag 2 is inserted here and is already approximately half-emptied.
- the weighting roller 3 lies on as well as laterally on the tubular bag 2 and thus pushes the contents of the tubular bag 2 continuously in the direction of the dispensing device 7 .
- the lateral contact takes place in a bearing region S, which is, of course, displaced downwards with the continuing emptying of the tubular bag.
- Parts of the tubular bag 2 that have already been emptied are located above the weighting roller 3 and rest against the lower housing part 1 b .
- the weighting roller 3 itself has a cylindrical, elongated and fixed core 10 and an elastic sheathing 11 that surrounds the core 10 like a cylinder jacket.
- the fixed core 10 is preferably made from a heavy material, for example metal.
- the elastic sheathing 11 is preferably from a soft foam.
- the layer thickness of the sheathing 11 is preferably in a range of 6 to 10 mm.
- the soft sheathing 11 deforms by means of the weighting roller 3 bearing horizontally on the tubular bag 2 .
- the weighting roller 3 can overcome this as a result of the soft sheathing 11 and not be stopped thereby.
- FIG. 7 shows a further schematic partial cross-section of the housing 1 of FIG. 1 to explain the emptying of residues. It is obvious here that the weighting roller 3 has traveled to the lower end of the tubular bag 2 and cannot roll further downwards due to the slightly oblique position of the tubular bag 2 . This depiction also makes it clear that the oblique position of the tubular bag must remain small during the application of the solution 2 according to the invention in order to achieve an emptying capability that is as good as possible. If the oblique position is made to small, residual amounts of the contents can no longer flow to the dispensing device 7 .
- the weighting roller 3 can no longer support the pushing of the remaining residual amounts in this critical region precisely on account of the position-stabilization means.
- An oblique position of the tubular bag 2 in the range of 4 to 6 angular degrees has proven itself to be particularly advantageous.
- a filled standardized tubular bag 2 comprising a dispensing device 7 that is fitted on said tubular bag and is in the form of a metering pump that is known per se is depicted as a whole in a spatial view.
- a tubular bag is substantially rectangular and has a length A and a width B.
- the volume of such tubular bags varies preferably in a range from approximately 1 to 12 liters. It goes without saying that a filled tubular bag will no longer be exactly rectangular, as suggestively depicted, but deforms similar to an hour glass. Trials have shown that the dimensional changes in width B and length A from the empty state with respect to the full state vary by approximately 4% respectively approximately 9%.
- FIG. 9 finally shows still another fluid dispenser with the housing of FIG. 1 that has been set on the base unit or respectively inserted therein.
- An outside view of the fluid dispenser in the position of use is shown.
- the housing 1 of the fluid dispenser can be inserted or set on a base unit 12 , wherein said fluid dispenser is held in the position of use by the base unit 12 , which means that the weighting roller 3 is able to push perpendicularly or at least approximately perpendicularly downwards on the tubular bag 2 .
- the dispensing device 7 is not visible in this depiction; is however, represented in an implied manner by control elements 13 on the base unit 12 with which a drive for a one-way metering pump on the tubular bag can be controlled.
- Conical grooves can, for example, be applied to the guides 5 , and guide wheels with a conical wheel edge formation can be fitted instead of toothed racks and gear wheels. Such constructions also can effectively prevent the weighting roller 3 from tilting because a mutual canting is practically impossible.
